It's kind of surprising people still donate to Red Cross, given their extremely poor track record. I suppose they have brand name recognition. South Park had a great jab at them, with all the 9/11 donations being stored away in an Indiana Jones lost ark style warehouse.
- dogruck 9y agoI'd say it's sad, but not surprising. People are sheep.
- whichdan 9y agoI wouldn't go that far - companies partner with The Red Cross left and right after every major disaster, and the mainstream media downplays the problems with the organization. For the average person, there's no reason to suspect that they'd be misusing/misappropriating funds.
- dogruck 9y agoI suppose it comes down to the semantics of sheeple. I personally do my best to scrutinize the message put out by major corporations and the MSM.
- salvar 9y agoI take it you are very smart, and not one of those stupid sheeple?
- hackinthebochs 9y agoSo what exactly are the problems with the Red Cross?
- kobeya 9y agoDownvotes because the truth hurts, I guess.
- mcv 9y agoDownvotes because it's a lazy cliche that over-generalizes and doesn't contribute anything meaningful to the discussion. If it's meant to be a meaningful concern, expressing it in a more intelligent manner would gain it upvotes. The way you express your opinion matters.
- tryingagainbro 9y agoIMO, a nice chunk of donations are done so people feel better. "Everyone" likes Red Cross so a donation there is seen as safe so it's the easiest path.
- tehwebguy 9y agoYeah well they feel like they should feel better because they think they're actually doing something.
